Review
“The Northouse text offers students and faculty an appropriate text for a Leadership survey course. Students will greatly benefit from the text’s ability to apply the concepts of leadership to their individual lives.” (Jane Murtaugh)

“The interactive activities bring the book to life. The clear, consistent structure facilitates navigation and supports learning.” (Peter Hammond)

“The Intro to Leadership book + eBook is a winning combination. The explanation of principles is straightforward, the self-assessments are thought-provoking, and the new media tools in the eBook are stimulating” (Leon Fraser)

“A must read for adapting individual strengths to enhance one’s leadership capacity” (James L. Morrison)

“Northouse's advice to students on handling conflict is the most immediately practical and useable that I have encountered. This book is highly readable and engages the student immediately.” (Terry Mullins)
